Donald Trump told some lies and over-promised to get elected.

WHOOOOOOA BUDDY!! Better vote blue now!

You're right, but I'll attempt to offer an explanation on why people are extra pissy.
Humans, in general, despise being lied to. There's something inherent about being deceived that drives them mad, even if learning the truth would cause them more suffering.
A good example I can think of is a scenario where a man is cheating on his wife. The wife would have less suffering if she were to go to her grave never knowing she was cheated on, but most people would prefer she learn the truth regardless.

Damn man, it's almost like he thought the Epstein files were horseshit for years.

The handling of this is terrible.

The Epstein list would have been nice but what is more important is deporting and getting the economy going while dodging Israeli entanglements.

Hold on, so saying you'll release a rape list and then not doing it for whatever reason is worse than having said rape list for 4 years straight and never releasing or even talking about it? Those seem pretty equally bad to me.

For all we know the reason Trump is fucking this entire thing up right now is because the list literally doesn't exist anymore after 4 years of shredding and he's trying and completely failing to save face.

I have a better question. Why not release the list Term 1? Because he had it then. Either it never existed or it got burned with a Zippo lighter the moment the FBI found it

So which is it? Is Trump doing a 180 now? Or did Trump hire a deputy director and director of the FBI who were dumb enough to fall for a Democrat Fake News psyop?

He's also dumb enough to have a VP who campaigned on it and a son who supported the release of the files relentlessly. Trump unironically is losing it. We're watching a mental breakdown in real time. I'm really curious how this will pan out, considering that he's surrounded himself with sycophants but those sycophants have also been pushing for the release of the Epstein files for years now.

Bernie's looking rough here, but he's finally getting something right. Maybe he's just lost his mind totally or something.

Bernie is just one of the handful of Dems--sorry, Independents--who is pragmatic enough to sense which way the wind is blowing. Similar to Kamala, whom he even commented on when she pulled this during the campaign, he's just pivoting to try to win votes.

If only you knew how bad things are.

Blue really was leaving us the clues right before her unfortunate suicide. Never knew she was depressed enough to shoot herself twice in the back of the head, smh.

What the hell is the cope gonna be if Vance wins '28? Will he keep the shtick up that long even?

It's more fun to read the shit spewing from his mouth, honestly.

If Vance wins in '28 Fatpacks will have to wear a burger suit until the heat death of the universe.
